RFK Jr on Tylenol and autism: "It is not proof. We're doing the studies to make the proof."

“RFK Jr on Tylenol and autism: "It is not proof. We're doing the studies to make the proof.”" He said the quiet part out loud!

I used to think that the Trump administration's incompetence would spare us from their evil intent but it looks like their incompetence will magnify their evil.

Try that line on your professors in a PhD program and see how quickly you
get tossed out on your ass.

Manufacturing proof is the same as manufacturing riots in Portland that never happened.

We'll turn science upside down and conduct studies (ahem) to prove our foregone conclusions.

Upside-down world we're a-living.

RFK, Jr is so brain dead he doesn't appear to realize how ridiculous this sounds. Anecdotally, Cuba doesn't use Tylenol and has no autism. Therefore, Tylenol (acetaminophen) causes autism. With this sort of scientific method, we'd still be living in caves.

The Grand Charlatan speaketh to his fan club of one, equally brain dead.

He and his son will make millions arguing in court that the U.S. government says that Tylenol caused their clients' autism.

It's a breathtakingly criminal con.
